Stunning, if not a poetic scene.

I can understand how the ancient egyptians would want to build a monument to their beliefs, in the shape of pyramids , and in the geometric pattern of the Orion constellation. Only their gods could have created such perfectly shaped structure in the clear sky for all the egiptians to look at. The southern hemisphere gives us the southern cross, also an awe inspiring sight. pass the ice cold one, and place the cans in the shape of the southern cross on the table, :D :D :D

I agree. The long exposure gives it just enough light to make it a stunning night shot.
